- Allstarhealth supplier is US based, but delivers to the UK. Note that goods less than £15 can be imported from US to UK without VAT or an administration charge (£8 at the time). Considering the location, I have had a relatively quick delivery to the UK from this supplier for other products. Their prices can be highly competitive.
- Other Ingredients: Vegetable Cellulose, Vegetable Stearic Acid, Silica, Vegetable Magnesium Stearate.
- Very low concentration of probiotic.
At the time I tried the Lifeplan product (first in the list), however I since found Alforex probiotic from Precion Biotics, which has been a game changer in terms of my IBS.
